Partly, but Signal etc. could just as well have a fast and polished client, and Telegram a clunky electron sloth. Even if you restrict yourself to one device (so no syncing) the difference in quality is undeniable.

Using Molly to get cross-device Signal support works pretty well, though the Android-only approach requires Waydroid or a deprecated Windows feature to run on desktop, unfortunately. Still, it's a lot better than the alternative (which from Signal's side seems to be "none, be glad we support desktop sync at all").

Me too. It's a shame though that it both feels unfinished and evolves at a glacial speed.

Here in Italy the answer would be that you cannot evade taxes if payments are tracked. I imagine that applies elsewhere too.

Zulip?

Would you have said the same about universities illegally keeping out Nazis, if the Allies had supported their genocide of the Jews?

This argument works against all payment systems that are conceivably bannable (likely all of them). If a payment system doesn't collaborate, the government can ban it.

This is the intended functioning of democracies I guess.

KDE Connect works great for sharing the clipboard.

I personally searched for and couldn't find an app that gathered various random generation tools, like the ones on random.org (integer sequences and sets, dice, list shuffle...)

Other than that banking, transport, government apps are (almost) never on fdroid, but that's not something a weekend project can fix :)

by, not from.

Ahh... so it's really the family plans that are increasing? Two euro seems fairly trivial.

I see what you mean, but also:

If you want to set e-bikes folks' hair on fire, show how many shoes the government could buy for the cost of an e-bike distribution program. Then, apply that number to the population that would be served by those e-bikes.
